Joanne,
A lovely melody on the chorus and nice sentiment in the lyrics. 5:30 am?!-the FAWM process sounds all consuming- hang in there!

We've listened to #1 and #2 and will soon listen to the others. As others have said, "Great start." Your production work over the last couple of years has really hit the high bar. Everything sounds so nice on our monitors. And as I've said before we are in awe of you folks who can write this prolifically. Amazing.

Robert, Sergio, Bud and Janice. Thanks for listening and commenting. I sure am learning a lot! Bud, I have learned that I am maybe not so prolific with lyrics as I am with the music. BIAB is THE most marvelous tool for songwriting, especially the music side. Sometimes I really feel like I am cheating because it is just such a great help. I am finding that if I get a concept and it has some rhymes and it has some story I can make a song out off it pretty quickly. That is why to get going I used some public domain poems that had all these ingredients and also why I am finding the lyrics by Elizabeth Petty so easy to set to music. Enough rambling. Here is song number 6. Another cowrite with Elizabeth. LOVE WE SHARE (A LOVERS LULLABYE) Lyrics: V1 will you pull me in so tight gaze at me in soft moonlight show me that you love me more and more each day will you kiss me goodnight whisper that it is alright hold me like tomorrow may never ever come C yesterday's love is such a gift tomorrow's might not be there and so tonight I want to feel our love.. the love we share V2 I will pull you in so tight gaze at you in soft moonlight show you that I love you more and more each day C yesterday's love is such a gift tomorrow's might not be there and so tonight I want to feel our love.. the love we share B I'm not afraid of loving too much But only that I've loved enough Realtracks: RealTracks in song: ~1121:Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~822:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Country Waltz Sw 085 RealTracks in song: ~824:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Country Waltz Sw 085 MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) Supermidi country waltz piano (using Dimension Pro) Midi piano and Dimension pro that follows the melody

halfway there!! I quite like this one. Not my usual genre but always good for a change. DECEMBER It is based on the public domain poem "December" by Claude McKay, 1889 - 1948 Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I a little barefoot girl Knelt down against your knee. As tears rushed from my heart, mother, And passed beyond its wall, But though the fountain reached my throat The drops refused to fall. Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I, a little barefoot girl, Knelt down against your knee. ‘Tis ten years since you died, mother, Just ten dark years of pain, And oh I only wish that I Could weep just once again. Last night I heard your voice, mother, The words you sang to me When I, a little barefoot girl, Knelt down against your knee Realtracks: RealTracks in style: 2421:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: ~598:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealTracks in style: ~599:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Doc Ev 100 RealDrums in style: TambourineTrainEv16: a: Tambourine b: TambourineTrainEv16

A very fine collection of songs, Joanne.
All well sung and all well mixed. And all with your stamp on them.
Come To Me is my favorite (so far).

Robert, Kenny and Floyd. Thanks for the latest comments. Floyd I just knew which one would be your favourite  Here is one with a guest vocalist. Elizabeth Petty posted these lyrics on the FAWM site and said she could see something "Jazzy and sulty". I loved the lyrics but know my limitations. I said I would love to put music to it but my jazzy and sultry skills are sadly lacking. BUT, I said I know someone who can. So I contacted my old band mate of 20 years ago who lives in Oman and roped her in. Within 24 hours she had come up with the melody and I had two decent vocal records (done on an iphone with no microphone and sent to me via WhatsApp!!). I mixed those iphone recordings in and this is the result. It is certainly different from all my other stuff and I hope you enjoy it. CAN YOU FEEL Lyrics: can you feel....... the temperature rising can you feel....... the ember's red glow can you feel....... the fire spark on my skin... kiss me.... then you'll know.... V2 can you feel........ the ocean waves rising can you feel....... the warm river flow can you feel...... the waterfall coming touch me...... then you'll know.... C kiss me touch me hold me I will love you through this night kiss me touch me hold me I will love you always in this life C can you feel..... our love's magic rising can you feel.... my desire grow can you feel... how much I love you hold me .... then you'll know C kiss me touch me hold me I will love you through this night kiss me touch me hold me I will love you always in this life Realtracks: RealTracks in style: ~2285:Bass, Acoustic, JazzSwingRonA-B Sw 140 RealTracks in style: ~2289:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzSwingKenny Sw 140 RealDrums in Song: JazzSwingLewis^01-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Brushes Swirl, Busy Snare And a midi sax made from the melody line

RichMac and Dani48. Thanks for the latest comments. Rich where ya been? Song number 9: HOOK LINE AND SINKER (with Cynthia Wolff) Cynthia offered me this wonderful set of lyrics and I do hope I have managed to do justice to them. It started out as a folk song but ended up a pop one. Cynthia said about these lyrics: A nod to Marcel Duchamp and Beatrice Wood and the Dadaists of the early 20th Century...a bunch of original Boho's who liked to cross dress and sit around talking, smoking ,drinking and making masterpieces... "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" is Duchamp's masterprice and can be viewed at The Tate in London Lyrics: Absently sipping absinthe at the Cabaret Voltaire i aspire to cold detachment while you look so debonair... Beatrice flirting in her black beaded dress Marcel on the staircase His lipstick is a mess... You got me…Hook Line and Sinker yeah it was….Hook line and sinker oh yeah You cast a spell and down I fell ah ha…yeah yeah you cast a spell and down i fell ah ha... United by emptiness true confessions we share I got away with nothing as if you really care… Discret Detectives lying in wait we study one another waiting for our fate You got me…Hook Line and Sinker yeah it was….Hook line and sinker oh yeah..Hook line and sinker.You cast a spell and down I fell ah ha…yeah yeah you cast a spell and down i fell ah ha Marcel and Beatrice are really quite the pair gaze at each other and the brides that are stripped bare. Looking for questions cause the answers waiting there… Misjudgement lurking at the bottom of the stair. You got me….hook line and sinker….yeah hook line and sinker…yeah yeah Hook,line,sinker you cast a spell and down I fell ah ha yeah yeah you cast a spell and down I feel ah ha..

Hi Joanne,
I've been popping in every now and then to hear how FAWM is going for you. I'm now listening to "Hook Line and Sinker" as I type. It's terrific.... a great sound, very creative and really well put together. Your singing is excellent. It sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying performing this.
You've certainly got a good collection of material growing.
Regards, Noel

Hook, Line and Sinker is one fantastic song. I liked everything about this one. Your production work is getting better and better!
Two thumbs up

Joanne, A very original and interesting lyric and your melody is a great fit. Your vocal chops are sounding back to their best and production nice and simple. This would make a cool subject for a video.

Noel, thanks for checking back every now and then. I appreciate it. David, what "photo shoot" are you referring too? Thanks for the comment. Mario, thanks for popping it and robert for your ongoing support. It is not unnoticed.
I seem to have hit a bit of a roadblock and dont seem to be able to put music to these lyrics I wrote. They are based on a story told by Sigrid Rausing on Desert Island Discs. I am posting them in the hope that somebody clever can make a folk or country song out of them...sort of in the style of Emmylou Harris or John Denver. Anyone like to have a go?
Heather and juniper
There once was a field outside my back door of heather and Juniper Council decided to dig all this up Replacing it with conifers
Chorus/tag line
In those fields Those beautiful fields of heather and juniper
One night after dark My father woke up He so hated conifers He took us with him To dig up the trees Planted amongst the juniper
In those fields Those beautiful fields of heather and juniper
But when I knelt down To pull up those trees Hiding in the juniper with a lump in my throat I could not complelte And left alone the conifers
In those fields Those beautiful fields of heather and juniper
bridge Years have gone past and One breathless day I went to the see the juniper And in that field Stood tall and stood proud those beautiful old conifers
In those fields Those beautiful fields of heather and juniper

December is, indeed, different but most enjoyable.
Hook Line and Sinker struck us as having great vocal dynamics. Very powerful.
We will catch up on some of the others. You are amazing!

Bud and Janice. Thanks so much for your comments. Here and on Soundcloud Btw... I think you guys are pretty amazing too! Bob, thanks for the comment. Bob has beafed up the lyrics for Heather and Juniper and also written the music. I have a melody in mind, just need to "internalize" it before recording. Here are the next two songs: ONE IN A MILLION (WITH ARTHUR ROSSI) These lyrics were written by the very prolific Arthur Rossi. Arthur has written about 70 sets of lyrics so far this FAWM and about 30 of these have been set to music by various FAWM participants!! An absolutely amazing achievement. If ever you are feeling uninspired during FAWM you can go to Arthur's page and pick a lyric that appeals to you and away you go. Thank you Arthur! Lyrics: when I got lost in this big city, could you supose that you would meet me there in all this mess…? At First it was just bashful glances, and then we knew… (well,) That the chances ` were minute I guess (Chorus) One in a million one in a million almost impossible flash in the pan hopes and wishes just like helium once released Can't be caught again Our Feelings burst just like grenades it seems as if it were decades that we haven’t met… Now it is awkward to accustom, You've gotta wife I’ve a husband, what is it with us…? Chorus bridge You can ask me "what are the chances", Dont ask, you will not like my answers, Chorus * 2 Realtracks: RealTracks in style: 379:Bass, Electric, Country DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in style: 2024:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryJohn Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 378:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming DoubleTime Ev 088 RealTracks in song: 2718:Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 085 RealDrums-TambourineEven8ths
